I had always heard that Jimmy John's was “freaky fast,” but I didn’t realize they were also pioneering the invisible sandwich.
For a mere $21, we ordered two sandwiches. What I received was essentially a warm lettuce hug with three emotional-support tomato slices. Meat? Allegedly present. When I brought it back, I was informed there was ONE slice of turkey hidden somewhere beneath the lettuce — like a Where’s Waldo situation, but less fun and more expensive.
I also paid extra for cheese, which I can only assume was applied in spirit. Perhaps it was a cheese vapor.
The manager handled the situation by aggressively scolding the staff in front of me and then the staff asked if I wanted to “talk to someone about it.” You mean… the manager? The same person who just performed a live dramatic reading of I Hate My Job: The Musical? I’ll pass.
All in all, if you’re craving a $10 lettuce sandwich with a scavenger hunt twist, this is your spot. If you’re looking for actual meat and cheese, you may want to bring your own.

The ingredients tasted fresh. The bread was really good. A bit skimpy on the meat slices for a sandwich called Big John's. Yet the combination worked and the food tasted great.
